Attended a preview for Ottawa Art Gallery‘s Fall Exhibition preview which was set up by the people at IgersOttawa.
Starting with Michael Belmore and A.J. Casson’s Confluences and Tributaries.
This exhibition will coalesce the work of two artists from different cultural and generational backgrounds, to bring together the story of the Ontario landscape and the histories which go beyond its beauty.
The exhibition runs from October 11, 2018 to January 13, 2019.
Then it was Eclectic Geometric.
This marks the first exhibition in the new Lawson A.W. Hunter Gallery dedicated to the Ottawa Art Gallery’s growing Permanent Collection.
Featuring works by Ghitta Caiserman, Pat Durr, Duncan de Kergommeaux, Claire Guillemette Lamirande, Norval Morrisseau, Gunter Nolte, Wendy Simon, Takao Tanabe, Gerald Trottier, York Wilson, and Jinny Yu.
Exhibition runs from October 11, 2018 – January 13, 2019
Then it was Michèle Provost’s Everything must go / Liquidation totale
In this exhibition, Gatineau-based multimedia artist Michèle Provost presents an ambitious and poignant examination of the place of art and artists within a market-driven society.
Highlighting the potential for commodification, she creates a liquidation sale of a line of handmade home décor items, aesthetically based on the legacy — both real and imagined — of an iconic Canadian artist of the twentieth century.
Exhibition runs from October 11, 2018 to January 13, 2019
Then I got to see Karim Rashid’s Culture Shaping.
The first large-scale presentation of the iconic designer’s work in Canada to date. The exhibition features industrial designs imbued with the sense of environmental responsibility and sustainability that is at the heart of much of Rashid’s current practice.
The exhibition runs from October 11, 2018 to February 10, 2019.
